The Moment of Discovery

This audio download consists of three live recordings of fascinating discussions about many topics, including relationships, spirituality, vocation, and social change.

Those who are familiar with Steven Harrison’s books, as well as anyone open to the spirit of inquiry, will appreciate these explorations of living without reliance on beliefs.

Part 1: What Do I do with My Life?
Recorded in Boulder, Colorado in 1998, this recording contains explorations of living without a perspective and presents a dynamic and wide ranging discussion of the following topics:

• what to do about our lives and what to do with our lives
• if you had only one question to ask God, what would it be?
• bringing papayas to the oracle
• does free will exist or can life be contained by predetermination?
• and many other topics

It’s an extended dialog with a sincere questioner who is trying to understand how to make choices that aren’t motivated by self-interest.

Part 2: Discovering the Dynamic Question
In this recording from a dialog in Boulder, Colorado in May, 2000, the discussion ranges over many topics in the areas of consciousness, thought and intelligence and suggests the unknown as a key to a vital life.

Part 3: The End of Effort/Discovering Transformative Energy
In this challenging dialog with Steven Harrison, the discussion begins with the “nothing that we’ve all be hearing about.” Soon it is discovered that there is something very interesting about nothing. Are we using nothingness as a state to relieve our stress? Do we spend our lives sorting likes and dislikes? Is there an animating energy when we live without a reference? What is the human potiential and how do we live it in our day-to-day lives? Will we live it? The nature of virtual spirituality, self-deception, the insignificance of our stories, and other topics are investigated.
